Fight week chaos — every promoter knows it. A fighter drops out, a matchup falls through, and the clock starts ticking. You need a replacement, fast — someone with the right weight, record, and location who’s ready to step in and fight.


That’s where Matchup MMA comes in.


With our Search by Distance feature, promoters can instantly find verified fighters near their event — filtering by gender, weight class, record, and availability — and contact them or their manager with a single tap.

No more desperate calls. No more Facebook threads. Just fast, reliable matchmaking right when you need it most.
